G’day and welcome to my channel. Here I will be discussing aerospace topics which I really struggled to understand during my studies. I often need physically intuitive explanations to truly understand a topic, and these aren't always available in textbooks or lectures. Here I will share some of the explanations that I developed or collected in the hope that they will also be useful for others. A warning a physically intuitive understanding is only one piece of the puzzle, you still need to understand the maths to fully master a topic, but I will leave that to others who can explain it better.
Future topics (please suggest others!); the Tisserand plane for (aero)gravity assists hypersonic waveriders thermal protection systems J2 pertubation GEO (in)stability points Oberth effect and chemical vs electric propulsion mechanical impedance space telecomms for dummies (mechanical engineers) why rockets crackle
